Member Bru… Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Does anyone knows where can I find it? Seems weird that it’s never been made? This font is in the Public Domain right, and used quite a lot too! (Not only by VW) Link to comment
Member Que… Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Not too sure about the public domain thing... I think it is an officially retailed font, as is is sold by Adobe in their font folio. I would check that first. There probably are several rounded fonts that do provide italic as well. cheerio Queneau Link to comment
Member Ren… Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 TS Volkswagen has italics in it. Link to comment
Member gtr… Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 You can try BPreplay as well (check the typefaces section) George Triantafyllakos - backpacker.gr Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Renko, your mention of Volkswagen made me look up VAG Rounded on Google... Until now, I had no idea that VW was the origin of this typeface, and I'd always wondered what "VAG" stood for! Until now, I had always identified Futura with Volkswagen, because of Helmut Krone's famous ads for VW in the United States. Link to comment
Member Bru… Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 As far as I know VW put the font in the public Domain so all the dealers could use it? Thanks for the link Renko. That’s verry usefull … Do you see the wierd cutofs in the lowercase a and q in the heavy-italic.http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/ef-typeshop/volkswagen/heavy-italic/ Gives me the feeling it’s a quick rip-off … Link to comment
Member Bru… Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Not sure if this is all true … I’m sure the first lines are bullshit! http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=10&url=http%3A%2F... Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Gives me the feeling it’s a quick rip-off … I could not find any information for "The Quick Brown Fox" foundry, not even on MyFonts! Link to comment
